Thanks for posting this. I needed to replace my Japanese edition, and subtitles are a great bonus.

I just stumbled upon this title while odering manga from Amazon.com. While I might enjoy it, I have other priorities right now; so I will keep it in my saved for later section.

I got exited when I saw it looking around on an online bookstore. I'd love to order it for my collection one day.
